    This place was 5 mins down the road from my hotel, and being someone who loves trying local coffee shops, this was one of them. I've seen a few around the area so I had thought it was just that good. I got an iced honey badger latte with almond milk and a corker pie with one of their sauces. Total came out to be $16. The corker, an Aussie breakfast pie with eggs, cheese, and sausage, was filling! It's flaky, salty, flavorful, and plenty to be enough for breakfast. The cashier who took care of me was super sweet and recommended me some things. They have indoor and outdoor seating AND they have an outdoor ordering window if you only want drinks. They also sell their merch like coffee beans and shirts. MUST MUST TRY!!

    Walked over for a morning coffee; multiple options and very quick service. Didn't have as many Aussie pies as advertised so a little bummed I couldn't try it but overall I enjoyed the banana bread and my honey badger! Ambiance was a cool indoor and outdoor cafe; good to work if need be.

    Love this spot! Indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of outlets inside to get some work done! Staff is incredible and makes great recommendations. Food is tasty and what you would expect from a small coffee/bakery spot.

    The staff were such sweet ladies!! The coffee I had was a quick order, a perfect pick me up before a long day. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I think my favorite part was the column filled with Polaroid of dog visitors! Great spot and will be back!

    Rasher's & Egg Brekkie Pie and Iced Coffee

    Wonderful stop for breakfast and coffee, but I would stop here any time of day. Their brekkie pie was delicious and I'd love to try more. Oh I also got a slice of vegan banana bread and it was amazing. Their iced coffee was also very good. It is a cute spot with seating inside and outside. It has a relaxed atmosphere and I would definitely enjoy working there as I drink my coffee. The staff were also friendly, helpful, and informative. Oh and they also have some draft beer which I am going to come back and try. Great place! Pros: *Good coffee *Good food, Aussie pies & pastries *Local draft beer options *Great atmosphere *Friendly staff Cons: *Not really any, maybe a limited coffee selection if you like tons of options

    I was in town and stopped for some Kookaburra! There is one in my hometown so I knew that it would be good! I had the honey badger ice with almond milk and a breakfast Aussie Pie which was delicious! The space was tiny and had a long line but the line moved quickly. The customer service was good as well.

    Latte and biscotti

    Cool spot, just off the beach! Coffee was very tasty, biscotti was delicious and just perfect companion for my latte. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend it for sure.

    This place was unbelievable !!! I enjoyed it so much. I was instantly transported to a surf shack in Australia. The coffee was amazing!! I had their signature honey badger with honey cinnamon and vanilla. Delicious and high quality coffee . We tried an Aussie brekkie pie . We had the corker. It's like a small chicken pot pie but with sausage egg and cheese: we loved it! They gave us a sauce that was like a spicy ketchup. The filling was savory and the pie was crispy and buttery! My friend and I shared one and fought over every bite lol! We also split a chocolate chip scone that had so many chocolate chips! Unreal! My favorite stop in st Augustine!

    Early grey tea is very yummy

    Pretty mixed reviews on their coffee if I'm being honest it's not my favorite but they don't come to play with their tea. Nice staff great location makes this the only look I go to

    Very good coffee my husband and I were in town for a couple of days and came every morning for coffee to go in this cute location. Service was fast and nice. The Pc was my favorite one

    Inside is really cute. Love the pole with all the pup photos!
    Rachel D.

    Absolutely wonderful. This place will be a must if we ever come back to town. My hubby had the Aussie iced coffee which was fabulous. I had the green goddess iced which was so delicious -- my hubby even said "did you finish that? You never finish your drinks!" Why yes, yes I did inhale that delicious drink. We also had the True Blue Aussie pie. Was large enough for us to share, as we didn't want much. It was just the right amount. Flaky, light and yummy. Also the coffee shop overall is cute -- and clean! We sat inside and were very comfortable. A must visit if you're ever in St Augustine Beach.

    Is there a place at this location large enough for me to park my travel trailer (30ft long plus my truck) so I can get some yummy Aussie meat pies?

    Not at this location. Check their location at 470 SR207...the parking lot is larger

If you like that ice cream, you'll like the selection here. HOWEVER, the milkshakes are not made with that ice cream. I can only speak to having the Whirlybird waffle and Mayday ice cream, not a milkshake. The Whirlybird was ok. My waffle was a bit tough; I can't tell if that was because it was stale or because of how the apples had soaked into it. The apples weren't that special, either. They were a bit overpowering and made the whole thing a tad sloppy. If they were diced apples instead of sliced, it might have been a bit easier to eat. The whipped cream and vanilla ice cream were a great accompaniment to it all, though. The insides are very clean and neat. Everyone there was friendly and attentive. They served us a great many samples as we decided on what to get. I would come back again to try a different waffle creation. They did have serval that sounded great. And the ice cream is great, as usual.

The combination of imaginative cocktails, exceptional food, and a unique atmosphere makes every visit memorable. The cocktail program is outstanding. We enjoy trying a variety of their exotic and inventive drinks, and they never disappoint. The flavors are bold, creative, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical restaurant bar. The Yellow Submarine cocktail is quite possibly the best drink I have ever consumed. Made with curry-infused Bermuda black rum, lime, ginger, and Asian five-spice brown sugar syrup, it sounded unusual on paper but came together beautifully. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered four of them that evening, something I rarely do. That was three years ago, and despite returning several times since then, I have never seen it on the menu again. The food is equally impressive. Two years ago, I ordered the Skillet Roasted New York Strip served with Yukon Gold potato-anna, roasted asparagus and spring onions, watercress, and black truffle hollandaise. To this day, it remains one of the top five restaurant meals I have ever eaten. Every component on the plate was exceptional. The steak was perfectly prepared, the crispy potato galette was irresistible, and the black truffle hollandaise elevated the entire dish to another level. It was the kind of meal that stays with you long after the plate is cleared. I would gladly drive 300 miles just to eat it again. Most recently, I had the wild mushroom bisque, and it was the best soup I have ever consumed. Rich, creamy, buttery, intensely mushroomy, and perfectly balanced, it was everything a mushroom soup should be. The addition of crispy pickled onions and crème fraîche added texture and contrast that made an already outstanding soup even better. My wife and I enjoyed it so much that we returned the very next day hoping to order it again, only to discover it had already rotated off the menu. My only complaint about The Ice Plant is that some of their greatest creations seem to disappear as quickly as they arrive. While I appreciate the constantly evolving menu and understand that seasonal changes are part of what makes the restaurant special, there are certain items that deserve a permanent home. The Yellow Submarine cocktail, the wild mushroom bisque, and the Skillet Roasted New York Strip with black truffle hollandaise are three of the finest things I have experienced there. The fact that I can vividly remember one of these items from three years ago and another from two years ago says everything. Great restaurants serve good food. Truly special restaurants create dishes and drinks that stay with you for years. The Ice Plant has done that for me more than once, and that is why we continue to return whenever we visit St. Augustine.

The Bloody Mary is where it lost me. $15 is a serious price for a cocktail, and mine arrived as a tall glass of ice with what was left over poured around it. By the time I was a few sips in, it was mostly meltwater. For that money I'd expect the drink to outlast the ice. Suggestion for the house: given the name, lean into it. Send everyone home with a free bag of ice -- at least then I'd feel like I paid for something I got to keep. Would go back for the food. Would think twice before ordering another cocktail.
